James, was featured on Halloween as the “Fugitive of the Week” in New Hampshire. James was wanted on a federal arrest warrant for violating his conditions of supervised release as a result of a prior conviction and sentence for access device/bank fraud.

The information regarding James was also shared with the Portland Police Department.
